Sherrell's Suicide.

Last Friday morning at about 3
o'clock, at the residence of his father
in-law, two miles south of this place,
John Sherrell, tired of life, put ball
through his head, and ended his ex-
istence. The cause for the rash act
is said to have been domestic
troubles, although he gave no reason
for it himself. He died within an
hour after the fatal shot was fired,
and an inquest was held Dy Esq. w.
A. Mckinney. The testimony be-
fore the jury of inquest went to show
that on the evening previous to the
shooting Sherrelfs wife left home
and remained away all night. Next
morning before she returned he
locked himself in a side room, load
ed rifle, tied string TO the trigger,
and by this means sent ball crash
ing into his face. The ball entered
under the left eye and lodged in the
head. Drs. Hill and Drummond
were called, but although the man
was not insensible when they arriy'
ed, they saw that death was lmmi-
nent. He asked the doctors to dc
what they could for him and seemed
to regret the act. The witnesses ex,
amined were; Emma Baker, sister
OF Snerrl's wife, Frank Sullivan
Noah Powers, Daniel Baker, jim

Sir Cupid.
BY BEVERLY L. CLARK,

BY BEVERLY L. CLARK,
Who is Sir Cupid, wonder?
His face / should just like to see.
IT he has bow and bright arrows
1t is strange he shoots not at me.
I've watched for him often and lis
tened
To catch from his voice one sweet
tone;
I've watched in the daylight and star
light,
Till the years of my life are most
flown.
They say that he is not partial,
But shoots all his shots without aim ;
And | know my heart is not hardened,
But it has not been pierced "just the
same"
Mayhap in the years of life's cleaning,
AS the beads of Time slip one by
On the long thread of years, so slender,
Which my deeds and misdeeds have
spun;
Sir Cupid will drive out my self-love,
And lift from my heart the cold
screen,
And lead me from this desert loneway,
TO live in true loves happy dream.
Yes, we know all things are ordered
By strong irresistible power,
From the master march of planets
To the soft little fringe of flower ;
So, some little maid may strike me,
With Sir Cupld's wonderful wand ;
And hold my heart for lifetime,
Secure in her fair little hand.

ready. No millionaire in the land
could set a better table, nor have
food prepared in a more wholesome
manner. Yet every article on the

Dor. His good wife spun, wove and

years ago, and have been in Pope
county ever since, and | have never
seen the. time that / could not live
cheaper by producing the supplies
necessary for home consumption
than by depending upon the pro-
ceeds of cotton crop to buy them. "
A cotton crop of itself is good
thing, but there are few farmers who
accumulate property by raising cot,
ton alone. 1t is a sad reflection
upon human nature, but true never
theless, that a man will buy twice as
much on credit as he will when the
cash must accompany his demands.
1t is not the fault of the merchant
who takes the mortgage that the
mortgagor makes nothing above his
Indebtedness. In collecting on mort
cages, rarely meet man who de
MES his account, yet the whole esy
is against the merchant, who, as 1T is
said, gets all the crop. Well, the
merchant, isn't much better of when
he does get the crop, for generally
there is so little of it that 1T dom
do him much good when he gets it.
The farmer who mortgages for
stipulated amount and sees that his
crop will no more than pay off the
mortgage is not likely to work so
nara as NE WOuld NlQ iiC hhoN eH"N
his crop would more than meet his
demands. But is it not honest and
right that he should pay the mer-
chant for his goods? If all the mort
gagors refuse to pay, and the mort
gagee fails to collect his debts, he
wouldn't have any goods to sell next
year.
1t is no crime for man to become
involved financially; but if the man
of moderate means who obtains his
supplies by executing a mortgage
upon his property, through his own
negligence and want of economy,
fails to meet his demands when they
become due, he should not complain
because the man who has accommo-
dated him requires him to pay him.
Nor should he demand chat the leg
islature should give him the right to
take the merchants goods without
giving value received.
